Media definitely has a huge impact and influence on everyone's opinion of beauty. And although it doesn't look like that could be harmful, it is extremely dangerous to play with someone's idea of what is beautiful and what isn't. Not even the physical characteristics of a female/ male face but their body, their opinion, their intelligence, their personality. It is all too often we see more and more teens struggling to "fit in" with what is socially accepted and fail, because that's just not who they are and that isn't who they were meant to be, and instead of excepting the reality that we all cant be the same or the most ideal beautiful/ handsome person, we beat ourselves up for it and we ask those questions regarding what we did wrong, why were we made the way we are, and why can't we just be as attractive. 'Maybe if I just did this different", or 'I think if I just didn't have this', and even 'Maybe I can get surgery to change this'. It's completely wrong, we are all fearfully and wonderfully made, there isn't anything we need to change besides the attitude towards ourselves. It's time for this generation of depression and self-consciousness to pass, and there needs to be more and more individuals standing up, regardless what size they wear, and say that they are beautiful, a generation of confidence.
